Hi Guys,
I walked into my dealer on 31st Dec and bought a new Mk 6 GTi. I have been given a delivery date of middle March, and have been advised I will be informed 4 weeks prior to the actual date.
The VW Business Manager told me that VW cut back on production last year in line with the recession and were caught out a bit when things ramped up. He said VW seem to be on top of it now and mid-March should be doable. What chance do you think??
I didnt see a thread for December orders so wondered if anyone else has bought and been given a provisional date?
I've ordered a white 5 door, DSG, RCD510, Rear View Camera, Side Airbags, Winter Pack and 18" Monzas.
Cheers - Stu

NO CHANCE!!!!
I ordered mine on August 18th and was told mid December, then January, then Feburary, then happy days, back to January, then not so happy days, MARCH.
So tbh I think they have told you a load of old tosh
-
I ordered nearly the same car only difference being Carbon Grey.
I ordered last week of December and delivery date first week of April :smiley:
-
...mid-March should be doable
There's a weasel word in that sentence... Can you guess which one it is...?
Drawing on others experiences here, that sounds unlikely. :undecided:

I was told on my Monday that any build week I had wouldn't be reviewed until the February 'schedule' was in place.
What registration comes after 10 ....

I ordered mine from Arnold Clark a few days before you ordered as I remembered your post.
I have been told middle of April to May sometime. Ingram in Ayr have no slots left until March before they can take any new orders.
To be honest im not worried the wait will be well worth it. Driving on a twisty B road with some great sounds blasting out will be bliss.

I work for a very busy VW retailer in sales if you get your car in march I will eat my gti manual
Dealer is filling you full of sh!t just for you to get your order. Will be worth waiting for tho mate. We have had an r turn up today in the showroom looking unreal

Cheers guys (I think!). I took it with a pinch of salt to be honest, and am quite happy to wait. It will be interesting to see - dealer advised that they will notify me 4 weeks before delivery. Some folks on here seem to know their build week - how do you find that out?
I'll post when I do eventually get it :smiley:
-
Doesn't it depend on whereabouts in the queue the car is though? e.g. if a dealer has an allocation which they haven't sold out of, you might be able to get a car with an earlier build week.
I got mine via the fleet dept and they seemed to be able to get me a reliable estimate on a car... it actually came a few days early! :smiley:
-
Cheers - that's what the dealer told me - thet had some spare allocation etc. Let's see anyway - will update as I know!

Stu why don't you confront him with it......you have on this forum enough valid info even from dealers!!....I would make quite a big fuzz out of it...leaving the garage with loads of extra's on the dreamcar I would get my legal assistance insurance help me....that vehicle is simply too beautifull to let the waiting spoil all
the fun :angry: :cool: :wink:

Hi Stu
My GTI was ordered back in mid-August and isn't meant to be built until mid Feb. If VW manage to catch up on the back log and manage to meet the estimated deadline they've given you, they must be super human or robots :grin:

There are many cancelled orders out there from when people got sick of been messed about. You have probably been given one of those.
Two ways of finding out your provisional build week are:
1) Ask the dealer to look on the DIALOG system and see whats is listed or to send you a screenshot of that info for confirmation they are telling you the truth.
2) Ask the dealer for your commision number this is the number used to find your order on the DIALOG system. So what you can do is then phone VW customer care and give them your commision number and they will let you know the status of your order. Due to the amout of calls to VW customer service of people doing this some of the operators are a bit snooty because they think you should be asking your dealer for this information and not bothering them. But if you have an unhelpful dealer or one that lies then how else are you suppose to find the truth!

I ordered one just before Xmas, with delivery stated as march/April - big dealer with a big allocation, so hopefully will come true.
Spoke with a dealer in Bristol, around the same time, and they had an available build slot meaning possible delivery in March.
:rolleyes:
